Saturday May 19, 2012 is the date to remember! It's marks the first annual National Natural Hair Meet-up Day across the United States. I have the pleasure of being on the committee and I must say that working with these women has been a pleasure. I am blessed to be amongst women with so much passion, love and creativity especially about natural hair. If you are natural, transitioning or curious about natural hair then come mingle, learn and have just a great time with your local event. To find your local event, go to www.nnhmd.com

The National Natural Hair Meetup Day is an annual one-day event which will be held this year on May 19, 2012. Its purpose is to allow the opportunity for women across the United States and Canada to meet in their own communities while networking, sharing and meeting (virtually) other women across the country participating in meetups on the same day. Natural hair meetups are events designed to share information, techniques, inspiration and products to aid individuals in their natural hair journey. The purpose of the event is; to build community within the natural hair community, expand natural hair meetups into newer and/or smaller markets across the United States as, well as allow people interested in hosting meetups the opportunity to gain experience, tips and best practices from more experienced meetup hosts and organizers During and as a result of National Natural Hair Meetup Day, attendees will be able to:
